Singaporeans are creative and innovative. It lays with our Education and efficiency...

[Willamshakespear]

A) Education

1. All Humans have dreams. However, to realize such dreams and turn it into realities, one would need at the very least formal education, otherwise it will only remains dreams, fantasies or stuff of fiction, as one would not be able to communicate, to share, to build, let alone even discuss.

Singapore's education is correctly based upon strong emphasis on STEM - Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, the very basic foundations to turn dreams into realities. NO Singaporean, male or female, can deny that they did not get a chance at such foundations to have a CHOICE to build their dreams later in adult life.


B)Creativity and Innovation

1.Natural gift/talent

The insignificant nobody me remembered my time as a kid in an education mandatory art class. I could draw the art subject-an orange, with just a paper and a 2B pencil, gave the orange on my canvas with details, such as its shape, pores and even the effects of light and shadow thru the various forms of shading to make it like alive. However, all my classmate sitting next to me could do was to draw a circle, as that's how he sees things - circles, rectangles, etc.

Despite my attempts to share with him to improve on it, either he could not understand or just not keen on it. However, I must add that when it came to maths and science, with just one lesson he could understand the basics taught and scored A+ always for his tests easily, where-else I had to make several attempts and tutorships before I can even get the same grade.....

Thus, each Human is born different and have different perspectives, gifts and talents.


2.Invention

It is said and proven that NECCESSITY is the MOTHER of INVENTION.

Singaporeans live sheltered lives and in a port city where thousands of products and services pass thru our ports daily. We have all we need than to re-invent the wheel.

Furthermore, Singapore is a small market. Even if we invent the NEXT BIG THING - even before we can sell it, other countries with bigger resources and economies of scale would have STOLEN our ideas and market it as theirs selling our product as theirs even cheaper....

At the end of the day, we are a PRAGMATIC People and would have to consider - Is there a NEED for the invention, AND would the desired RESULTS in this invention's product or service be ACHIEVED?


3. Efficiency

ULTIMATELY, what is creativity and innovation for? The answer is that such purposes are to enhance better productivity, services and profitability, which means EFFICIENCY, thus the need for such.

Singapore had long been well known for our efficiency in every level, stage and strata of life, both in the private and public sector, thus there is no need to say more on this.

However, for those who live in a well, may they venture forth to see the REAL WORLD. eg:-

a)Malaysia - whereby it would takes days for a repairman to attend to electrical issues in a home, let alone street lights and more.....

b)India - it would take months if not even years, to go thru the huge amount of red tape (bureaucracy) one has to go thru to just set a company there, even with bribes offered at every stage of the application.....

c)Europe -whereby should there be faults in its rail system, it would take days to repair and the rail system shut down. They had 200+yrs in rail system knowledge and services, and yet in Singapore, with only 38 yrs of MRT experiences, it takes us only a few hours to repair and the system up and running.

Even if we take in all the factors that Europe has in its rail system and Quantify such by percentages, we Singapore are way ahead of them in our creative and innovative approach to resolving issues...

Singapore’s education system is the real obstacle to innovation

[Willamshakespear]

In short, rather than to COMPETE with other nations, as we are a small Nation, with limited resources, market size and population, we would rather COMPLEMENT with others by working TOGETHER EFFICIENTLY, the way our legendary and visionary Founding and forefathers had done, a legacy to follow as it brought our peace, stability and successes of todays as a Nation, the way one of our great Founding father - the late Mr Lee KY had done for China in the Suzhou episode, and for USA by sacrificing one of our deep water ports in Changi for US Navy vessels to dock even an aircraft carrier here for refuel and supplies.......

....as per our sacred National Pledge, taken daily during our formative years....'so as to achieve happiness, prosperity and progress for our Nation' and if I may add - for all Humankind, in positive ways that we, the efficient, resilient and resourceful, can, even if our efforts, from every social strata of our democratic society, goes unrecognized or never will be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize. Peace and putting food on the table for loved ones are far more important..... It's about survival and sustainability....

Try telling a Singaporean that he, with his million dollar HDB home often denigrated as a pigeon hole, that he is a slave, and you would have made his day to earn a laugh from him, he who has a hardworking regime daily, with enough to put food on the table for loved ones, family, relatives, friends and society and even take vacations....

For the scientific community, Singapore does not have the tens of trillion$ in GDP like bigger nations whereby they can afford million$ to fund scientific research and discoveries. Societal expenditures for Singaporeans such as healthcare, education, infrastructure, security, etc, far outweighs funding scientists for years to find scientific discoveries that may take decades to realize and of any potential use to Humanity, which other Nations whom have deeper pockets, would be able to do far better than us ....

Thanks for your reply. for more capable than FOREIGN morons whom are only capable of one liners and presume mere one liners resolves issues and portray themselves as an authority on Earth and even DARED mislead others by using misleading nicknames to represent a country that they had proven time after time they hold only emotional driven hatred....such only shows their intellectual levels, if any of such existed in their puny pathetic small petty little minds at all....

1. Let's not and never ignore historical evidences:-

a) Taiwan at the time of 1949 had a population of 6 million+. and most were LONG of Han Chinese descendance, even the supposed aborigines whom still held on to Han culture, whom had long invaded and populated Taiwan in ancient times, even in the era of the Chin dynasty 1st Emperor.

b) After the horrors and betrayals by the commies of China in fighting against the Japanese Imperial Army, many Han Chinese, of a civilization of 5000 yrs recorded history, fled to Taiwan, amounting to a million+

c) As they already had learnt from their own far far learned and cultured forefathers, and facing an undeveloped Taiwan back then, just like our own Founding and forefathers, they had to make the best in their situation as best as possible - to survive, and thanks to lessons learnt over a millennia, they succeeded and built up Taiwan as what it is today, with much help from Allies for funds and developments, especially from USA....

Point is -

a)they had a headstart, more so those of Han Chinese descent, regardless of where they fled to - into the lush, peaceful and fertile valleys of Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, and into even Singapore in later times when they saw Opportunities of life, being of ancient Chinese heritage.

b) Singapore, on the other hand, even after WW2, had only a small population. For decades and even centuries, living in such peaceful fertile and lush lands, regardless if Chinese or Malay, they had little need for trade, creativity or innovation. Just a hen which produce eggs, rice harvests, etc, would satisfy their needs.

c) it takes time to be developed which can never happen overnight. All the best to the scholars and entrepreneurs whom had helped Taiwan progress.

But I tot media always say Singapore is world smartest yet where are we in getting any Nobel prize in more soft subject - literature?

 

[syed putra]

a)Malaysia - whereby it would takes days for a repairman to attend to electrical issues in a home, let alone street lights and more.....

b)India - it would take months if not even years, to go thru the huge amount of red tape (bureaucracy) one has to go thru to just set a company there, even with bribes offered at every stage of the application.....

c)Europe -whereby should there be faults in its rail system, it would take days to repair and the rail system shut down. They had 200+yrs in rail system knowledge and services, and yet in Singapore, with only 38 yrs of MRT experiences, it takes us only a few hours to repair and the system up and running

If true, rail system in Europe would have broken down already.
Any broken electricity lines in jiu hu are repaired within hours.

Leader can be trained de woh…annual courses for Jiak Hotel Buffets and interact with Chiobu

New annual course will groom future leaders of Singapore’s Chinese community​

Chin Soo Fang
Updated Thu, 21 August 2025 at 5:36 AM SGT4-min read

Mr Chee Hong Tat, chairman of the Chinese Community Liaison Group, speaking at the Singapore Federation of Chinese Clan Associations in Toa Payoh on Aug 20.
SINGAPORE – Around 100 Chinese community participants in their 30s and 40s will be the beneficiaries of a government-funded initiative to foster the future leadership of the community over the next five years.

They should be active in the Chinese community, demonstrating a passion to serve, to be eligible for the Chinese Community Leadership Course, said Mr Chee Hong Tat, chairman of the Chinese Community Liaison Group (CCLG), at the Singapore Federation of Chinese Clan Associations (SFCCA) in Toa Payoh on Aug 20.

Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said in his National Day Rally speech delivered in Mandarin on Aug 17 that SFCCA and the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCCI) would develop a leadership programme to nurture the next generation of Chinese community leaders, with the Government providing funding support.

A) Education

1. All Humans have dreams. However, to realize such dreams and turn it into realities, one would need at the very least formal education, otherwise it will only remains dreams, fantasies or stuff of fiction, as one would not be able to communicate, to share, to build, let alone even discuss.

Singapore's education is correctly based upon strong emphasis on STEM - Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, the very basic foundations to turn dreams into realities. NO Singaporean, male or female, can deny that they did not get a chance at such foundations to have a CHOICE to build their dreams later in adult life.


B)Creativity and Innovation

1.Natural gift/talent

The insignificant nobody me remembered my time as a kid in an education mandatory art class. I could draw the art subject-an orange, with just a paper and a 2B pencil, gave the orange on my canvas with details, such as its shape, pores and even the effects of light and shadow thru the various forms of shading to make it like alive. However, all my classmate sitting next to me could do was to draw a circle, as that's how he sees things - circles, rectangles, etc.

Despite my attempts to share with him to improve on it, either he could not understand or just not keen on it. However, I must add that when it came to maths and science, with just one lesson he could understand the basics taught and scored A+ always for his tests easily, where-else I had to make several attempts and tutorships before I can even get the same grade.....

Thus, each Human is born different and have different perspectives, gifts and talents.


2.Invention

It is said and proven that NECCESSITY is the MOTHER of INVENTION.

Singaporeans live sheltered lives and in a port city where thousands of products and services pass thru our ports daily. We have all we need than to re-invent the wheel.

Furthermore, Singapore is a small market. Even if we invent the NEXT BIG THING - even before we can sell it, other countries with bigger resources and economies of scale would have STOLEN our ideas and market it as theirs selling our product as theirs even cheaper....

At the end of the day, we are a PRAGMATIC People and would have to consider - Is there a NEED for the invention, AND would the desired RESULTS in this invention's product or service be ACHIEVED?


3. Efficiency

ULTIMATELY, what is creativity and innovation for? The answer is that such purposes are to enhance better productivity, services and profitability, which means EFFICIENCY, thus the need for such.

Singapore had long been well known for our efficiency in every level, stage and strata of life, both in the private and public sector, thus there is no need to say more on this.

However, for those who live in a well, may they venture forth to see the REAL WORLD. eg:-

a)Malaysia - whereby it would takes days for a repairman to attend to electrical issues in a home, let alone street lights and more.....

b)India - it would take months if not even years, to go thru the huge amount of red tape (bureaucracy) one has to go thru to just set a company there, even with bribes offered at every stage of the application.....

They had 200+yrs in rail system knowledge and services, and yet in Singapore, with only 38 yrs of MRT experiences, it takes us only a few hours to repair and the system up and running.

Even if we take in all the factors that Europe has in its rail system and Quantify such by percentages, we Singapore are way ahead of them in our creative and innovative approach to resolving issues...
